Nokia has filed a series of patent infringement lawsuits against Geely Group and its four major brands: Zeekr, Lynk & Co, Lotus, and Smart. These lawsuits encompass 32 subsidiaries of Geely across 18 European countries. The core of these suits revolves around standard essential patents within the realm of cellular communications, particularly concerning 4G/5G preamble sequence allocation and 5G beam switching technologies. Should Geely be found liable for infringement, it could face sales bans on affected vehicle models in countries like Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands, effectively impeding its European market expansion plans. Industry experts advise Chinese automakers to bolster their patent risk prevention and management strategies during the internationalization process to circumvent potential obstacles posed by technology licensing disputes.
